The Eating Coach

Today's Saturday Question is all about the impact environment has on our food choices. What's a that got to do with trampolining? Or socks, for that matter? Listen and all will be revealed.

Some real, actionable ways to get through the holidays without eating your own weight in junk food.

Stupid Idea Of The Week

Trying to have a perfect holiday season. Forget it! This may sound super obvious, but will you remember the joys of imperfectionism when Aunty Flo is breathing down your neck?

Main Section

Here are four anti-stress strategies to stop you binge eating during the upcoming festivities:

#1 Complaining…but complaining in a very specific way. Yes, you heard me right. It’s time for a strategy called Hard Times.

Wishcraft is by Barbara Sher

#2 Subscribe...Make sure you are subscribed to this show, because on the 23rd Deceember I have The Holiday Survival Kit for you – a series of daily minisodes to get through the festivities.

#3 Distraction

Cordial and Corrosive is by Sophie Hannah

#4 The Movie Question…

Episode 89: "Would you like to upgrade?" is a seemingly innocent enquiry. Today's Saturday Question ask if you would like to anti-upgrade - and why. All will become clear in the next 4 minutes.

An extra episode for Thanksgiving. Everyone would ideally like to eat less than they did last year at this time – but today I explain how the question how do I do this? is not actually the route to achieving that. It contains within it a hopeless kind of perfectionism that will backfire on you within days, if not hours, if not minutes.

Confused? All will become clear in the next few minutes.

It all hinges on asking a different, far more useful question. There are also some practical anti-compulsive ideas given at the end.

I am also delighted to announce the imminent arrival (on platform nine and3/4) of my other podcast, Harry Potter Saved My life

Today's Saturday Question is inspired by a silent ambulance. Is there tension? Not really. Is there bloodshed? Not that I know of. Are there any lessons for us? Yup. Listen and learn.

Today's Saturday Question minisode is inspired by a passage from Eckhart Tolle's  The Power of Now:

'What could be more futile, more insane , than to create inner resistance to something that already is?'

So where are you when... 

...when WHAT? 

Listen and all will be revealed.

Are you worried about how much candy and sweets your children are going to guzzle this Halloween? Well, DON'T! I explain why you are barking up the wrong tree and diverting yourself from focusing on how to bring them up in the most healthy way possible.

I also give some practical tips on how to reduce their sugar consumption without ruining the fun.

Plus The Anti-Binge Toolkit is out today, which you can get at

Normal service is resumed this weekend with The Saturday Question.

One idea to deal with one day out of 365…How can you eat less sweets and candy on the 31st October, when this whole event centres on those very items? This episode will give you a realistic solution dives deeper into how you can turn this night into an opportunity to stand up to your sugar addiction.

This is about anti-perfectionism and turning your thinking about sugar, food compulsion and binge eating on its head.

This is about calming your inner food rebel, not adding fuel to their motivational fire….in fact how about using this festival of junk as a way to rebel against your food compulsion?

Coming in the next few days: what to do about your kids and their sugar consumption at Halloween. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss that episode.
